Business Outlook

Pros

Good salary, good location. Global corporate opportunities were available to personnel willing to take them. Bosch Production Systems three day training was top notch. There are a lot of initiatives for hiring younger personnel.

Cons

A majority of the people I worked with were within 5 years of retirement. There was not an apparent large push to recruit younger, fresh college grads.

Pros

Comparable $$ - Family life / work balance in some departments is good, some not - sadly following the rest of the world re: Benefits

Too many chiefs while the rest continue to be downsized and carry the load but not compensated even if it is only an atta-boy.
